--|Unstoppable Force [Training]

As he walked through the massive desert, intense heat hit Data's body causing sweat to drip from his body. "Damn its hot.." He would whisper to himself reaching for the wooden water type bottle resting on his hip. Bringing the wooden flask up to his face, Data began gulping the smooth refreshing liquid giving his body a second wave of energy. "That felt good!" He yelled with a enormous smiling stretching across his face. Over to his left, Data noticed a group of rocks, around four feet tall and three feet wide. By Data traveling all day, he had little to no time to actually train in the arts of a Earth Bender but as of now, Data was going to make some time to do what he loves best. Walking closer to the rocks, he felt the warm smooth sand underneath his bare feet as he approached the group.

Slowly putting his body into a natural Earth Bending stance, Data looked at the first rock with a intense burning passion deep within his eyes. "Pick it up..." He would tell himself as he extended his right arm outward. Focusing on the soon to be movement of the rock, He would close his eyes and release a deep breath. As the oxygen exited his body, Data slowly moved his extended arm upward while keeping his focus on the rock. The higher his arm went, the more the stone wiggled in its place. This was a fairly basic technique, but it was also fundamental for all Earth Benders to have the ability to levitate rocks and move with minimal will power. Data quickly got a fell for what he was attempting "Time to kick it up a level!" He said with a smirk across his face.

Jerking his arm upward with a burst of speed, the stone instantly rose over the ground and came to a sudden stop. Data slowly brought his arm down once again, while the rock continued to float in place. "Now Fly!" He yelled twisting his body to a full 360 degree spin ending it with a punching motion forward. The rock in the sky, shot forward like a bullet out a gun. Gliding over the endless desert, the rock would end about 250 meters away from its original position. Data stood perfectly tall, and rubbed the back of his neck with his right hand. "Man that was easy. Hopefully I don't die of boredom out here..." He said ready to continue warming up his body for the challenging techniques.

After a moment of awe, Data found himself ready to continue practicing his Earth Bending skills. "I know what to do next!" He said punching his fists together creating a thunderous roar, but that's not all the punching of his knuckles did. The small pebbles around his person began shaking, and leaping off the ground as if a massive shockwave overcame the land upon which Data stood. Underneath the warm smooth sand, Data dug his feet deeper and deeper pushing it away as he did so in a type of swirling motion. His Sand Bending was a little rusty, but he only needed a basic skill the do what he wanted to get down. Getting about six inches deeper into the sand, he felt sold earth. "Jackpot!" He muttered to himself throwing his hands over his head as if he was trying to pickup a falling boulder. As his hands went up, a great deal of sand all around Data seemed to raise also showing the sold earth underneath him. As his body shook from the amount of sand being left, he would slowly turn his shiny brown body to the side, and throw the sand off into the distance.

"Whew... I need to work on my Sand Bending. That was kinda tough." Data yelled as sweat dripped down from his head. Using his right arm, he swiped it across his head and the salty liquid was no more. Data felt one with earth again. When standing on sand, he felt uneasy and defenseless even though he would never let it show. But once on earth, he felt like he could take on the whole world with a rocky fist. Tapping both feet on the slab of rocky stone he stood on, Data slowly bent his body downward positioning himself into a natural Earth Bending stance. moving his right arm backwards, the earth underneath him began moving in a type of wave like motion. Data noticed the events being took underneath him, and he could do nothing but smile about the it. "This is simple also." He muttered throwing his arm forward with a massive straight forward punching motion.

A slab of earth, around six feet in height and three feet in weight popped up right in front of Data ready to block an attack if one would be coming at him. "Not done yet!" He shouted picking the slab of stone out of the ground with a simple arm motion. With yet another powerful forward punch, the slab went flying forward great speed gliding over the warm sand. With a mighty "BOOM". It landed around 75 meters away from where Data was standing. That was another technique down, and Data still had plenty of energy to continue his training.

"What next...What next?!" Data asked himself as he stood on the island of earth he had recently created. Looking over to his left he would look at the group of rocks he had planed on using to help himself train, but that idea was long lived. Shifting his vision over to his right, he would see nothing but a desert wonderland, nature may be beautiful, but it sure can be deadly if one doesn't respect Mother Gaia enough. Suddenly, something came to Data. "I got it!" He said stepping forward from the circular island of earth he created. His next training regiment would be to deflect and destroy incoming earth projectiles. He's always been good with this skill, but that was because others would be throwing the projectiles and Data has never been in a battle he hasn't won. With a smirk on his face, and burning passion for his ability as a Earth-Bender, Data rose his right foot slightly over the ground, and then quickly slammed it, picking up the slab of stone 75 meters away.

Extending his left arm outwards in front of himself, Data swiftly jerked his extended arm backwards pulling the stone in towards him as if he had some type of Laso wrapped around it. "Here it comes!" He said with a excited tone of voice putting his body into a powerful stance. His legs stayed a perfect shoulder length apart from each other, while his arms rested bent at the elbow ready for the technique to come into play. Not even wind would be able to blow Data over as his stance was so perfect and strong even his massive muscles were flexing as he stood in this way. The slab of stone flew with impressive speed, something Data has only seen from his father when they trained together so many years back. No other Earth Bender can even come close to matching Data's father bending skill other then himself, but even then he's father is better, faster, and stronger. The Slab was now ten meters away, and Data stood ready with his heart beat 2x faster now. "LETS DO THIS!" He yelled throwing a punch forward with great speed and momentum behind it.

His fist would hit right in the center of the incoming slab, the same area he was focusing on since the start. His bending would be perfect for his fist sliced right through the approaching slab straight down the middle breaking it perfectly into two pieces that flew right past Data on both his left and right side. "BOOM" Would be the only thing he heard as the slabs landed fifteen meters behind him. Slowly turning to face the result of his training, Data couldn't help but start laughing hardly. His voice echoed through the entire desert as he showed his master over yet another Earth Bending technique.

With another technique finished, Data's body was no fully warmed up, and his muscles loose and fully flexible. "Things are going pretty damn good right now." He thought to himself as he started jumping up and down in place. But it was odd, whenever he hit the ground, a type of small shock-wave was made going across the desert. But the first time this happened Data didn't notice so he continued jumping up and down in place. His legs felt a little stiff, even though he spent the better part of the day walking through this endless desert, his legs still weren't properly stretched for his perfect Earth Bending. Data didn't notice the shock-waves he was making until he looked down at the sand as he was bouncing. He noticed a few grans of sand in the air as he landed, and found this a little strange. "What the hell?" He said with a confused tone of voice, stopping the jumping and looking at the sand.

He looked at the sand, but nothing happened. He looked over to his left and saw nothing, the same results carried as he looked over to his right. Shaking his head a few times, Data could still feel the stiffness going down both of his legs, so he began jumping again but this time without taking his eyes off the sand. Once he hit the ground, the grains found there way up into the air again. Suddenly, he realized why this was going on. "Oh man. I almost forgot. I remember this! My father taught me how to create earthquakes easily. I guess I must have forgot?" He thought to himself bringing his left leg up slightly off the ground. Pushing it downward quickly the sand around his foot was pushed away by the force of his Earth Bending, making a clear path for the earth right under it. As His foot made contact with the earth, a great quake was created with Data safe in the middle. He knew a earthquake was happening just for the simple fact small waves went through the sand.

After a few moments everything would settle down and Data would be standing on yet another island of earth he seemed to create by using this fairly basic Earth Bending technique. "Now that was fun." He said to himself with a soft voice reminding himself of yet another technique his father taught him many years back. "At this rate I should be able to remind myself of all the basics before night comes." He said punching his knuckles together once again creating yet another earthquake, but this one was different. It started from his hands, and all the force made its way down his body, coming out his feet creating the wave of Earth Bending. "This could prove useful. I better not forget it again." Data said with a smirk across his face.

"Aye yo boy!!!" A voice from behind Data would yell with a thunderous roar. Data's first reaction wasn't to turn around in shock, he instantly wondered who would be out in this wasteland. Spinning on his heels, Data faced the direction where the voice came "Yo?" He said in responses to the yelling of this unknown person. But before he was even capably of fulling looking at this person, three perfectly rounded stones flew in Data's direction. "Oh great a fight!" He yelled picking up his hands and punching through the stones that came in his direction with powerful and quick punches. "You're good boy!" The unknown man said running forward towards Data. But Data wouldn't let him get the first move again, he would also run forward with a intense powerful look within his eye. "This is a pretty good time to see what else I can remember!" He said as he leaped forward focusing on the sand underneath his feet. As he landed, the sand quickly rose as if a explosion just happened, but in reality, Data used his Earth Bending skills to create a type of sand-screen all around him.

"Gotta make the first move!" He said to himself standing on nothing but solid earth now. Slamming his right foot on the ground, a slab of earth flew into the air right in front of him. Twisting his body in a full 360 degrees, Data would kick the slab forward with amazing strenght behind the attack. The slab of earth would fly forward and being around the size of six feet tall, while four feet wide. But this mysterious man that attacked Data was no starter when it came to Earth Bending. "Show me your power boy!" The Man shouted punching forward and cutting the slab right down the middle leaving himself unharmed. The sand was still floating around, it made breathing somewhat of a challenge and seeing was almost out of the question. But his hearing was still good. He could hear the slab of earth hitting the soft sand with a great "BANG". But instead of hearing just one, he picked up the sound of two, instantly telling him his attack didn't hit the mark.

"Looks like I gotta kick it a level!" Whoever this man was, he wanted a fight, and he had some skill within the art of Earth Bending. Data stood as the sand finally came to a halt, in the distance he could see the man walking towards him through the shroud of sand. "You picked a fight with the right person today pal!" Data yelled hoping the this unknown stranger could here him. The loud laughing coming for the strangers direction proved that he did pick up these words. Chuckling himself Data would say one last thing before going on the attack once again. "Lets ROCK and roll... Get it? Hahahaha!" He couldn't help but start laughing at his own corniness.

"Show me what you got boy!" The stranger shouted flinging his arms from side to side bringing up slabs of earth. Thinking to himself, Data counted out five of them, from this range they shouldn't be much of a issue, but. If this man kept creating them and throwing them into Data's direction, things would end back quickly. "Only one thing I can do at this point... I gotta get in close. I hope I remember how to do this!" He muttered to himself as he ran forward with his hands up ready to counter everything this man did. With great skill and flexibility, the stranger released five well placed kicks hitting square in the middle of the slabs of stone and sending them flying straight at Data. Data watched this, and couldn't help but think of his father as he saw this near perfect movement. They weren't nearly as fast, but still perfect none the less. As the first two rocks approached The Bronze Earth Bender, He brought his hands upward and blocked the flying stones turning them into nothing but rubble as they hit his powerful hands. This technique was a useful one, but it still caused a great deal of pain if used constantly, so the last three Data had no choice but to try and dodge using his evasion skills he picked up from his father.

"Gotta do this!" He muttered to himself as he witnessed the first rock fly towards his head. Ducking his head downward and having his chin touch his chest, the rock would quickly pass over the top of his head. The second rock would come straight at his body. Picking up his head, Data would leap over to his left in a type of ducking motion. The rock would miss his chest, but brush his shoulder causing a great stinging sensation, but Data was in the midst of battle, pain was something he didn't even know of. The Last would be aimed for his head as well but seeing how he wasn't on the same straight path, he didn't need to waste his energy and try to dodge this. Now arm reach away from this mysterious Earth Bender, the stranger would punching forward another rock at Data. "I knew that was coming!" He thought to himself as his body reacted without his knowledge once again.

The rock was aimed for his face, so Data would instantly duck under the incoming rock. But as he ducked, he placed his right leg behind this strangers left and spun around him using his opposite leg as a pivot. His movements were a blur but as he spun, he would shoulder bump this unknown Earth-Bender causing him to lose his balance and fall to his hands and knees. "Now!" Data yelled to himself as he witnessed this man hit the sand out the corner of his eyes. Waving his hands up over his head in a circular motion, the sand underneath the man turned into a type of quicksand, where he's hands and knees were simply caught. "Haha! I did it!" He yelled lowering his hands and walking around in front of the stranger. Bending down and looking this unknown man in his eyes, Data would ask a simple question. "Why'd you attack me?"

The stranger just looked up at Data with a crazy wild type smile on his face. "Your father sent me after you. He wanted to make sure you'd be able to handle yourself out here." Data looked at the man with crocked eyes, he knew he wasn't sure if he was telling the truth or not, but it didn't matter to him because he had won this little battle. Swiftly bringing his body back up to a stationary position, Data would turn his back away from the stranger something no one should never do to a opponent. "If my old man really sent you. Tell him no need to worry, I'll be alright." He would say with a strong determined tone of voice. Walking over to his belongings he placed by a lone plam-tree, Data would dig in his bag and pull out his pair of black sunglasses. While he did this, the stranger was able to Earth Bend his way out of the sand pit Data had created. "Now boy, you have skill. But skill alone won't get you through this world!" The stranger said. But as he said this, he began Bending yet another slab of earth getting ready to launch it at Data.

Data's ears picked up the words of wisdom, but that's all he heard his whole life; that strenght and power isn't everything. He had nothing to say to this stranger anymore, for he didn't need any words or wisdom and for the simple fact that he didn't even know this person. As the man realized Data was ignoring him, he began getting a little annoyed. "You have a real big chip on your shoulder boy. And one day, someone is going to eat that chip." The man said with the small hint of angry in his voice. As the words reached Data, he was already starting to continue his traveling, but he heard the last words the man spoke and had the perfect response to it. "Well I'm waiting for that day to come." This whole time Data hadn't paid this man no attention, and just kept moving forward and this made the stranger furious. And before the man could even say anything to more of Data's arrogant words, he found himself flinging the rock forward with a power kick.

The whole area was silent, so the flying of the rock could be heard as a light pitch whistle was created as it flew towards him. "I don't have time for this anymore!" Data yelled slamming his right foot on the ground instantly creating a six foot high and wide wall. The wall would block the incoming rock and keep him safe for anymore attacks the stranger wanted to use. "Yo, tell my father I'll come home much I find my purpose. But until then, I'm traveling the world fighting and making my Bending even better." The words being said seemed to be fading the further Data got away from the area. Soon, he was gone like a passing wind leaving the unknown Earth Bender alone to soak over his lose.

After many more hours of traveling through the hot desert, Data came to a small town. "Wow. I had no clue a town was out in the middle of nowhere?" He muttered to himself reaching for his map of the desert in his traveling bag. He marked there he was with a pen, but it showed no small town within this endless desert. But he had no time to question it, he was hot and thirsty. Putting the mad back into his bag, he pressed forward with his head held. As he got closer, he noticed the city wasn't on the sand, it was on earth which made Data extremely happy. "Yes!" He thought to himself as he enjoyed his first step on the first sign of sold earth for hours. He instantly felt at home as he walked through the small town. The town folk watched as he walked through, some gave crocked looks, while others just kept doing whatever it was they were doing. Either way, Data paid no mind to the watching town folk. Coming to a nice sized well, Data noticed a few children, around the age of nine and ten felling cups of water up and drinking. "Finally water!" He whispered to himself as he made his way over to the children.

As he approached, his height seemed to block the sun behind one child creating a type of eclipse. The boy would quickly turn around looking straight up at Data's smiling face. "How's it goin' kid?" He asked walking beside the boy, throwing his heavy traveling bag off his shoulder, and reaching for the wooden type water bottle on his waist. As Data reached deep down within the well with his water bottle minding his own business, the boy and the other four children would look at Data as if they never saw a grown man before. While the bottle was getting filled, Data could fell eyes watching him. Slowly turning his head over to the kids, he looked them all in their small innocent eyes. "Are you a Earth Bender?!" A small girl would ask hiding behind one of the boys, most likely her older brother. Data's left eyebrow slightly rose as his ears caught the question. Looking over at the scared girl, Data would put on his winning smile and began talking with a nice friendly tone. "Sure am little girl. A strong one at that!"

"Dude, you're huge!" The girls brother would say with a excited tone of voice. Data could tell this boy looked at him as some type of idol, so Data would leave up to this title even if he was just passing through. "If you eat all your vegetables. You'll grow big and strong just like me!" He said winking and taking his water bottle out the well. Taking a few quick gulps, Data would hook it back on his hip and face the children. The very moment he faced the kids, they all took a step back in fear. Data himself took a step back as they did. "What?! Is something behind me!?" He asked quickly turning around ready to do what he does best, but he saw nothing but a few house pets that he scared off with his sudden fast movements. "You're scary?!" The little girl yelled with a sweet voice, but still hiding behind her brother as the kids kept taking slow steps away from Data.

This was the first time kids didn't take a liking to Data, and he didn't know what to do about it. He shouldn't have even cared for he was just passing through his remote town anyways, but something deep within him told him to change these children's opinion about him before he left. "Well. What can I do to make you guys not think that?" He asked with the same friendly tone of voice and making sure his body wasn't in a threatening position. The kids looked at each other, and then instantly smiled as they all got the same idea. "Play hide-n-seek with us!" The little girl yelled with a sweet tone, but it wasn't loud at all. Data looked up at the sky, and the day would be coming to a close soon anyways. He didn't want to spend another night in the cold desert, so he would need to rest at a inn anyways. Clearing his throat, and using his right hand to rub the back of his neck, Data started talking. "Sure, I'll play with you guys." Before he was even able to finish his sentence, the kids ran off down ally-ways and into open shops, all expect the little girl. "That well is base! Count to fifty and come find us! No peeking giant man!" She yelled as she ran off into a crowd of people, leaving Data alone to count. "Man, what did I get myself into...?"

It was three minutes after Data counted down from fifty, and the children were no where to be found. He walked around through the entire city, keeping a close eye on the well. He could easily catch any of them if they made a break for the well so he didn't care how far they were away. But they could fit in places he wouldn't be able to get into do to his giant size. "Damn! Where are they?!" He asked himself standing high on top of the highest building right behind the well, but still he saw no sign of them, but he did see something amazing. A little boy probably around the age of five years old with his mother, he held some kind of walking stick and felt his way around using it. Jumping down from the building, Data got a closer look at the boy while keeping his distance. Looking at his face, he noticed the child was blind. His pure white eyes was the perfect sign he needed to tell him this. "Wow, and the kid is moving around with no probably huh?" He had never say nothing like this before, so he had to find out the secret behind him doing this. "Excuse me! Miss!" He yelled running over to the mother and child. "Yes?" She asked with a nice friendly tone. This caught Data off guard, he thought everyone within the village wanted him gone down from all the bad glances he got. But he had no time to think about that, he needed to ask the question.

"Um.. How is h-. I mean, his blin-..." He had no idea how to get his question without coming off rude, so he just continued to cut off his words and making the situation awkward. The mother couldn't help but laugh, which made Data fell even more of an idiot. "You want to know how he's walking perfectly even though he's blind?" Data's eyes quickly opened as she basically asked the question for him. "Y,Yes!" He said chuckling a little, while she did the same. Looking down at her son she began to speak again. "That stick he is holding, it helps him feel around, but it does more then that. Whenever he taps it on the ground, a shock-wave type vibration is created going up the frame of the stick, through his body. From there he can tell whats in his way, and doesn't have to fear walking into anything. It's really similar to how badgermoles travel through the Earth, but without the bending of earth." She said looking down at her son who kept tapping the ground, and looking around even though he couldn't see.

Data moved over to the left just a little, while the boy was tapping his stick. He caught the vibration being created from Data's steps, and instantly looked in his direction. "You're a Earth Bender correct?" The Mother asked. "Yeah." He said as he kept moving, watching everything the boy did from tapping of the stick, to looking around. "Then you should be able to pick up this 'second way of seeing'." The Mother said with a nice pretty smile. Data looked up at her and started laughing, "Yeah, you're right. Thanks. I'll let you two continue your walk." With that being said, Data slipped off in the other direction while the mother and son continued in the direction they were heading.

The little town was now completely silent and night-time has reared its face Not even the house pets were out. From time to time, Data would here child laughter "Don't you guys have a bed-time!" He yelled walking in a circle keeping a eye on the whole area, but they said nothing. While he kept searching, his mind kept going to the boy with the stick, he felt vibrations with it giving him the ability to see without seeing. "I'm a Earth Bender, so I should be able to do it..." He whispered to himself closing his eyes and focusing on the surrounding area. From time to time, he would listen to the laughter from the children, but he couldn't be bothered by it. Releasing a deep breath, and bringing his body to a relaxed stances, he picked up the faint sound of a heartbeat. "What the hell is that?!" He asked himself as he kept his eyes shut feeling the full area around him.

The faint beat became louder and louder, but he didn't know what this meant. He didn't question it, he only embraced this odd sound. slightly tapping his right foot up against the earth, he would create a small vibration. He felt the shock-wave travel up into his body, giving him a small "second sight". He saw the outline of he buildings around him, and the well about fifteen meters away. "T,T,That was it!" He said opening his eyes with a wide smile going across his face. Tapping his foot again, the vibration was a little better this time, and even more clearer. The distance went a little further. He saw two tiny figures hiding behind the building right in front of him. "Yo, I see you two behind the building!" He shouted. The two kids looked at each other and didn't understand how he knew they were there, but they decided to pick another hiding spot.

As the two boys ran, the vibration coming from there steps reached Data, this he found weird. "I can see them, without having to move myself!" But he had no time to stand in awe, he needed to cut them off and tag them. Sprinting around the side of the building, jumping over plants, and street vending carts. Data tagged the two boys before they even saw him. "HAHA! Gotcha'!" He yelled excited. This was the longest game of hide-n-seek he had ever played, and he just wanted it over. 'How'd you find us?!" One boy asked mad thinking that Data somehow cheated. He couldn't help but laugh and say "The power of a Earth Bender is amazing little kid." Suddenly, a group of vibrations traveled through the earth and into his feet traveling up his body. Jerking his head to the left, he knew the brother and sister were going for the well. "Oh know you don't!" He yelled hoping they would hear him for he was coming with full speed.

As he ran, the two boys followed behind him, but couldn't keep up for Data was much to quick for the two. A straight shoot ahead, he could feel the vibration from the brother and sister. As the vibration moved, it also gave the outline of landmarks, and one of these landmarks would be the well. "Ten meters! I gotta hurry!" He said. Even though he was running with full speed, the two were much closer then himself. "Time for some Bending! He said jumping up a few feet and slamming his feet on the ground. The earth would quickly push him up forward in a type of catapult motion, sending him flying forward with great speed. "Here I come!" He yelled holding his hands right out in front of him. The sister looked behind her, but as she did, she fell on her knees, the brother didn't even look back, he just kept running.

Flying right over her, Data softly patted her on the head, and kept flying forward. The brother would be within arm reach of the well. As he started to extended his arm, Data wrapped his arms around the boys body, and they both landed in the well creating a huge splash of water. The boy was the first to come up all wet and angry, Data arose right after laughing. "I haven't had that much fun in a long time! HAHA" He said while laughing his same hardy way. The four kids standing right next to each other couldn't help but start laughing also. Even though they lost, they still had a blast playing with Data. "Giant man is nice!" The little girl yelled in her cute way. "Yeah, I am great huh?!" He would say as he rubbed the back of his neck. Suddenly, the group would hear parents yelling names, and without even saying bye, the kids would leave. Once again, just like the game started, Data was alone at the well. Grabbing his gear, he began heading towards the inn. He walked with his eyes closed, using his Earth Bending to fell the vibrations, to make his way to the inn. Tomorrow, Data would continue his traveling with this new ability added to his arsenal.

"Listen here son. The Wrath Of Gaia is a very powerful weapon in the right hands." Data's Father would speak standing right in front of the ten year old Data. The Child noticed a ocean blue weapon resting gently in his fathers left palm. The item had three long poles which looked extremely heavy, but his Father carried it as if it was light having little to no weight on it. "This weapon is the only one in the world son. It's been passed down within our family for many generations, and now it's time I passed it down to you." His Father continued to speak. These words would hit heavy upon the small body of Data, but he carried them with pride and responsibility. Suddenly, his Father would toss over the weapon high up in the sky. Data shot his head upward, but the intense brightness from the sun caused his vision to be blurry. Jerking his head back down towards the sand, the child listened and waited. "Wait for the right moment son." His father said with a powerful voice. This was nothing but a test. A Earth-Bender natural becomes use to waiting for the right moment, for in combat that's how its usually done. But this saying can be applied to almost anything, one just has to trust there training enough. The sound of the metal chains over his head became louder as the weapon fell to the ground. With the blink of an eye, the child extended his arm to the left, and grabbed the weapon by the giant metal ring without even knowing it would land there.

"Your reflexes are sharp son!" His father laughed with his arms crossed around his chest. Many hours would pass and Data would be training with his truly unique weapon. "FASTER!" His Father would scream as Data swung the weapon with great speed and great accuracy. Each swing became faster then the next, his arms would overlap as every other swing came to a stop. The speed and skill which came with this powerful weapon was amazing. Even though it was Data's first time handling such a item, he picked it up quickly and never stopped trying. "FASTER!" His Father shouted once again with Data picking up even more speed. At first, the metal poles were moving causing a blur, which meant a normal person would have a great deal of trouble trying to keep up with its moving speed. But Data kicked it up to the next level, adding even more skill and accuracy. "Good Son! Keep it up!!" His Father would speak as Data kept gaining more speed. Suddenly, the poles moved so quickly, even Data himself wouldn't be able to see what he was doing. The Child could still feel himself catching the swinging poles, but he was doing this with pure instinct alone, and nothing more.

After a few seconds of achieving this impossible speed, Data felt himself losing energy and breath far faster then before. Suddenly, he came to a stop and dropped to his knees and started gasping for air. "This weapon is a gift for Gaia. Treat it with respect and you shall receive the undying love for Mother Gaia herself." His Father said extended his arm out to help Data stand up to his feet. Whenever his Father spoke, the worlds hit the child hard, but he always'd listened and carried himself with pride and arrogance. Reaching out for the helping-hand, Data rose to his feet with the Wrath Of Gaia clinched tightly within his grip. "You seem to have got a really good understanding of that weapon son. Keep practicing and you'll be a master of it in no time." Data's Father said as the two headed on home. The day was coming to a close quickly, and Data was exhausted. His muscles ached, and his hand were sore, do to all the slapping from the speedy poles. But today, Data obtained a rare and powerful weapon, something he will never part with.

"Back in Ba Sing Se..." Data muttered to himself as he walked through the busy street of the Nation. Children, Adults, and street vendors spoke to one another with such joy and happiness. "Hey you!" A voice from behind Data shouted. He almost turned around and faced whoever it was calling out, but then he thought about it. "This streets have thousands of people within them. No way this guy is talkin' to me!" He muttered un-clipping the wooden flask which rested on his waist. Un-screwing the top, and taking a few mighty gulps. He would quickly put it back on his hip with a low pitched "clip". "Hey you! Big guy!" The voice from behind shouted again this time become even louder then before. "He can't be talkin' to me." He continued to think to himself as he came to a corner turning around a building. Following a mass group of people, Data turned the corner, but out the corner of his eye, he looked for who was shouting for someones attention. All he saw were a bunch of people laughing, talking, and eating. "Knew it." The Young Earth-Bender said with a raspy tone of voice as he put his vision back in front of the path he had chosen. As he turned, a man stood in front of him panting hard trying to catch his breath as if he ran a great distance. "Finally I caught up to you...!" The Man said panting with his hands on his knee's. Data simply looked down at the man with flattened eyebrows. "You talkin' to me?" The Young Earth-Bender asked with his arms foiled across his chest. "Follow me..." The stranger said taking a step back sinking into the ground with the blink of an eye. "Earth-Bender huh?!" Data was bored and had nothing better to do, so he did just that. Taking one step forward, his entire leg would instantly sink into the ground, along with this body.

The soil ran through his fingers, as he kicked his legs as if he was in the ocean. "I can't see shit!" He thought to himself as he began swimming forward. One arm after another with opposite leg kicks, Data found himself moving fairly quickly. It's been a long while since he last used this technique. This is perfect for escape, and even better for a sneak attack. He noticed the soil in front of him has already been pushed away, showing that whoever it was that wanted Data to follow has already been through this path plenty of times. This made things much easier on The Young Earth-Bender. The path had many turns, twists, and loops, and Data followed them all to the Tee. But at the end of it all, a sudden upward slop came. Twisting his body upward and kicking his legs and arms with all his might, Data found it a little difficult to go upward then downward and straight. After a few moments of, his head popped up from the soil and right in front of him stood a group of people. "Good to see you can follow a path" The man said holding his hand out, wanting to help Data out the soil, but he didn't need it. With small arm movements, The Young Earth-Bender shot himself out from the soil like a bullet out of a gun. The group watched as he got some distance within the sky. Hitting the ground with a "Thump" he waited for the answers they knew he had.

"We want you to fight." The Man that brought Data to this mysterious place said standing in front of his group as if he was the leader or something. The Young Earth-Bender simply smiled as he knew it would lead to something like this. Rubbing the back of his neck with soft strokes, Data looked up at the group and began talking. "Who am I fighting and why?" The Man in front looked back at his friends, they all had a smile as if they knew he would take the bait without having to put much of a effort. "We just want you to fight one of us nothing more nothing less. If you win, we'll give you a nice sized pouch of gold." The Man spoke walking forward taking off his black shit showing his well toned body, but he was still small compared to Data. "Easy gold? Sound's good to me!" The Young Earth-Bender said throwing his traveling bag off to the side as he placed himself in a strong Earth-Bending stance. The Earth under his feet felt amazing, he was ready to brawl but was this man good? "GO!" He yelled running forward head first without even putting a single thought into what he was doing. Taking a sudden step back as he gave simple arm motions, six slabs of earth arose, but these slabs weren't normal. They looked like long spears. "I hope you're ready!" Data shouted as the six spears floated around him twisting with sharp points ready to be released. The man didn't break his running at all, Data didn't scary him one bit.

"Pfft. Idiot, this fight is already over!" The Young Earth-Bender thought to himself as he released one spear forward as he took another sudden step backwards. The spear flew froward like a mighty arrow from a great bow. The spinning of the tip gave a deadly appearance, but this technique had one mighty drawback. It can only move straight forward, no turning, and arching. But even the greatest weakness can be turned into a mighty trap with a little thought. As the Spear flew forward with great speed, The man simply spun to his left and barely dodged the creation, but Data already predicted this and was already on the counter. Slipping his left foot in a type of circle motion, a peg of earth would appear where the mans foot would land. His group watched with wide eyes as they saw what was coming next. The Man would step on the peg, causing it to instantly raise into a mighty pillar as the pressure from the foot pushed it down. His body was sent high into the ground, but he wasn't done yet, he twisted his body gain control over his fall and got ready to hit the ground. His eyes would open wide as he noticed all five spears flying where he would land. Most Earth-Benders can't bend unless they are in direct contact with the earth, so this fight was over. Right before the moment of impact, Data focused all his energy and stopped the flying objects, causing them to crumble and turn into many stones. "Looks like I win huh?" He said crossing his arms with a arrogant tone of voice.

The Man stood up and smiled. "Your the real deal. A deal is a deal friend. Here ya' go!" The Man said as he tossed a nice sized pouch of gold his way like he promised. As Data caught the gold, the group sunk into the ground and was gone, not even leaving a single trace that they were even there. "That was weird..." He thought to himself as he feel backwards bending the earth past his body as he sunk into the soil. Today, he made some easy cash. "Time to hit the bar!"
